How Connected IoT Technology Will Deliver the Promise of Next-Generation Vaccine

Automated, portable, and digitally connected sensors provide stakeholders with substantial “next-generation” benefits as they provide end-to-end visibility within the value chain’s ecosystem.

IoT technology is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution. The equipment and machinery used for cold chain’s temperature-controlled value chain may generate thousands of actionable data points every minute. But often, installed components don’t speak to each other, creating islands of closed systems. Open platforms, however, can send and receive aggregated data from disparate, disbursed systems in a timely manner.

In contrast, sophisticated IoT platforms that leverage artificial intelligence will collect and analyze a huge amount of supply chain data (far more than even the most capable people can humanly process) to seek patterns and provide valuable insights for improving operations.
